00:00You look incredible.
00:03You do too.
00:04Oh, thank you.
00:05I was like, it's very early for us to be this glammed up.
00:06Yes.
00:07Yes.
00:08But it's fun because this morning I got my makeup done by a woman I've worked with for
00:14over 15 years.
00:15Oh, gosh.
00:16Over that, actually, because I met her before my son was born, and he's almost 18, so almost
00:2120 years now.
00:24And we do movies together.
00:26And it was very early.
00:27And she was like, yeah, it's like we're on a movie set.
00:30It's like we're actually going to work or something.
00:32And so this is not so unusual.
00:38And it's really fun to kind of get into that mode and start the day this way.
00:43And we're, of course, celebrating all these incredible women in one room.
00:47I wanted to ask you, what is one piece of advice that you've gotten from a fellow woman
00:51in entertainment that really stuck with you?
00:56My gosh.
00:57I'll just start with, I have never encountered a woman in this industry, someone who identifies
01:08as female in this industry, who has not been completely supportive.
01:12Like, you know, this idea of sort of competition or anything like that.
01:18Never encountered it.
01:19Not in my entire life.
01:20I'm 43 years old.
01:22And certainly not in my entire career.
01:25And I think that more than any piece of advice, I think it's the modeling of community that
01:36I've seen again and again and again from actors who are a generation above me, two generations
01:43above me, that has really stood out to me.
01:46Like Laura Dern, for example, talks about her mom and everything that she was doing
01:52within her community of peers, supporting one another as producers and creators.
01:59And you know, that is, like, we're female.
02:04We know how to commune.
02:05Maybe not because we're female solely, but culturally, biologically, whatever it is,
02:11whatever has led us to this place, there is something very powerful about female-identifying
02:18individuals coming together and connecting and dreaming, you know, just dreaming.
02:25And I would say that's the example that I've seen again and again and again.
02:29You know, individuals who dream bigger and bring others along with them on the ride.
02:36So, yeah.
02:37Well, speaking of that sisterhood and female empowerment, you know, a female-led performance
02:41everyone has not been able to stop talking about is Wicked.
02:44Did you get a chance to watch it?
02:46I have not watched Wicked yet.
02:47It is not my fault.
02:49I have been told I have to wait to watch it with my daughter.
02:53And so, and she was sick last week, and so I couldn't bring her to the theater.
02:59But we're going to be going.
03:00We're going to be going this weekend.
03:01I'm really, really, really, really excited.
03:03So emotional.
03:04Yeah.
03:05My husband and son went.
03:06I had to stay home with my daughter, but yeah, they went opening night and just absolutely
03:14lost it.
03:15It was just, you know, a revelation and a triumph and exactly what we want to be making
03:23in, you know, in the entertainment industry today.
